• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Good afternoon, How would you? Good morning? In some places?
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Good to talk to George Wallace. Um, there's a lot
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of people that you met in life and somebody wants
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: to speak to you. I don't know why anybody want
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: to speak to you other than me, because I've had Okay,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: everybody wants to talk to me because I am somebody.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I am living my dream. I love life, I love God.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I love you Richard McDonald, But I don't like Less Brown.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: You're not listening and I'm going, oh my god, lets
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: us on and I just text less yesterday during this
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: business conversation. His name was gonna come up as an
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: inspirational person to talk to. So, yes, you're right, I
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: don't like him, but what he has to say, you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: better listen to it? That Mr Brown, Yes, why did
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you hang around for this? You know George is something gold.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: But you know, George literally saved my career. Were at
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: a radio station in New York and I know he
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I mean in in Washington, d C. And the program
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: director did not like me. And so I had a
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: morning show and George my calls and he for the
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: all slow records on and and he just was very
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: negative towards me, and so I decided that I was
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: gonna jack him up. And so George, you went from
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: motivational speaker to jacket somebody that's right after the mike.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: That's a lot. He was not going to jack him up.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: He was gonna literally throw the physically throw the man
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: out of the window. Yes, And so George is six
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: four goud between us, and he says less. He says,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: nobody knows him. He said, but everybody knows you. He said,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: you cannot do this, and he stopped. But you have
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: to have someone who can speak to you, and you
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: listen to And I listened to him, and and so
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I stopped because I was gonna tear that studio up
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: with him. He was because he was trying to sabotage me.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: But George said, it doesn't matter, just do what you
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: have to do. And and he just helped me to
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: a higher standard. I lost it right right, frustration. And
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: a lot of people do that life. You know, they
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: forget their roles in life. You know who you hang
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: around with. It makes it because there's some people say, yeah,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: get him, yes you see, No, he didn't do that. Yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: The other thing is I was fascinated with George. I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: saw him the first time he came on television the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Johnny Carson Show. I wondered, why would he not change
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: his name given George Wallace about the white segregationists, And
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I asked him on the air and said, why didn't
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you change your name and come out with another name,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: and he said, and he accomplished this. He said, I
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: decided that I was gonna make George Wallace a good name.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: And so when people think about George Wallace now, they
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: don't think about the segregationist. They think about George Wallace,
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: the comedian who make people feel good about themselves, make
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: people laugh, and and he brings a lot of joy.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: So I admire that because as he could have easily decided,
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'm I'm going to change my name
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: so I can be more accepted. But he didn't do that,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: and his talent overrode the reputation of George Wallace the
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: segregationist or he is worth. Yes, we love you, uncle George.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: It's such a classic man. Thank you own a God,
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: bless you today. Something you know? Everybody? You know everybody? Okay,
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: you know he got forty five? How do you know
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: her voice? And what do you call him? Less brown?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: His name is less black. I had a call with you, George.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I said, we are not going to be funny on
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the show. We're gonna talk about life, you know. But
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: it's hard to talk to a fool and stop him.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Oh my Lord. Okay, listen, we won't do any more jokes.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: We're just talking about the good things about living life.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: Life is so good. Let's do that making money the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: same time, making money at the same time. So do
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you have anything to say for you black? Mr Black? Listen.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: George called me less brown and more black. You know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: not be funny with less brown on less brown is crazy?
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: You know you got me. I hear speaking church and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at that fool up there. You know,
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I cut in church now, I really come because I
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: met a man in Atlanta's name is Walker fucking flame Wrap.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: What the fucker? They ain't CUsing but show here close
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: And so we're less walked up from the pool and
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I said, this Walker five. I gotta pray for him.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: He needs a lot of friends and a lot of help.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: He George, Owner, Owner, got a question for you right now? Okay, yes,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you got a question for you right yes, sir, Uncle George.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: We're talking about money and success. There's a lot of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: athletes and comedians and celebrities that have doned, died broke
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: after making millions of dollars. One of the things I
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: respect about you, you've obviously managed your money well and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: been able to continue your success for years, so many years.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: How do you what do you? What would you attribute
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: that to? Well, I'm known from day one does a
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: term called show business, and you have to separate those two.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Does a show and there's business, And a lot of
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: people don't know because I am a comedian, because I
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: am foolish. But the bottom line is I'm a serious
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: guy about living well right, and everybody should live well.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: There's no reason why you shouldn't live well, and God
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: wants you to live well. I mean, why shouldn't you
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: prosper that if the money is out there? Sometimes a
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: friend of mine used to drop a hundred dollars on
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the floor on the way to the stage right, and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: that would she would mention the fact that there's a
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: hundred dollars on the floor and they're just sitting there
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: waiting for somebody to pick it up. You just gotta
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: go get it. You want some money, go get it,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: and you gotta have it. It's in your head to
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: be successful. I've known since day one in school that, uh,
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the school wants the school teacher want to ask who's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: gonna be a millionaire? I'm the along with my hand up.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: It's embedded in you that that's what you're gonna do.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: You gotta live your dreams. A matter of fact, you
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: gotta read Less's book. That'll help you out a lot.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Live your dreams, visualize what you want in life, and
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you can have anything. And you work too. Let me
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: say this. You know what millionaires do. They work. All
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: millionaires work. Look at everybody's successful. They work. But you
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: gotta think when you have this money, you can't throw
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: it away. We got these successful football players and basketball players,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: all these athletes. Let me say that they get three
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: thirty million dollar contract, first thing they do is by
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: a forty million dollar home. But they don't know that
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: money is not always gonna be coming in. And when
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the contracts stop, the bills the house note kick continues.
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: So that's why you see people they do the wrong,
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: They make the wrong decisions. You know, you gotta take
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: that money and save it. And you don't need five
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: rose rosses unless you just got you know, like a froad. Maywell,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: if you get that, got that kind of money, but
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you can have fun ellion dollars though back tax. So
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: that's the conversation he has to deal with that twenty
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: two million dollars that there's nothing for him. He's gonna
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: flight one night, he's gonna fight one night, and he
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: can pay it off about that. He's gonna makelli And
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I was on the fight. But you still gotta pay
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: taxes on that too. Now, that's always tax that. Now
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: there's always text. That's one thing you gotta do to
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: forget that. That's another way to get it in trouble.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Hey your tax I've gotten to the point I want
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: to pay my text so well, I add an additional
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: sums of money just for miscellaneous charges that I may
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: not know about that they might come back and talk
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: to you about exactly. I'm gonna tell some George. I'm
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: telling some George because I want I'm gonna keep your
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: while around for a minute, because of the fact that
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: you know, man to be funny in generations, you know,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: and I say generation every decade, and to be funny
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: because you let's let's be real, like I was with
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Mr Brown earlier. I just wanted to talk about the
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: dynamics of longevity and greatness and you before death comedy
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: jam her so so. And you know this is true
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: because I had to deal with this when you're making
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: white people laugh. A lot of people thought you father
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: couldn't make black people laugh. Is that true? I don't
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: know what it's true. I've always made everybody laugh because
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: I'm I'm a people person. I love people and always
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: knew that I love making them laugh. And I I'm
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: kind of different because it's very hard for me to
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: seek color. I know one color. I know green. I
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: know that's right and and and that that inspires you.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: So the transition when when death kny Jam came about
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: didn't affect you at all, couldn't pick me and I
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: went on and I did Death Company Jam. I need it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I hosted it a few nights. I've had fun in
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: both arenas, and I just love making people black white.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I don't I used to do the better. I don't
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: care what you're black, white, blue, or green. You know,
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: as long as you're having fun, because there's nothing better
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: than My job as a comedian is the greatest job
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: in the world. It happens to be the hardest job
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: as far as the show business is concerned. The hardest
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: job in the world is public speaking, the most fear
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: thing to do in life. And when we got to
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: go on stage. We don't only have to speak. We
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: gotta get last. We gotta produce jokes. We gotta deliver jokes.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: And it's harder than any other art point from out there.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: So I love doing it and they reward me with pay,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: and no, I saw often say I would do it
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: for free. Why because I under my essence, I love
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: what I do and I love to show people what
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: I do. Because when you make people happy, you can't
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: go wrong. Yeah, I mean you just think about it.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: You can't even take a smile without feeling better. That's amazing,
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: that's true. Now they gotta leave everybody to go to
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: the break please, uh you know, if you're gonna do
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: some condolences and say he black, and why you don't
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: tell by the owner? Do your thing, George and Mr Brown,
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you do your thing. Let's brown more black? You you
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: believe Mongolia? Well, George's family. I love George, and I
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: tell you it's it's It was a blessing. We used
• 12:03

  Speaker 1: and and I'm going raised in the church, and maybe
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: that has something to do with my career guidance night man.

  Speaker 1: and as I said, I need to do something different.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: But I just had your life and I love living
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: and it's just being six years old. And I would
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: take those jokes from Judge pick Me, Markham and Richard
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Pryor and uh, I said red Fox. Uh. I would
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: take those jokes back to school the next day and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: tell those jokes Milton Borrows, Johnny Cars. Anytime I heard
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a funny joke, I would I would tell the joke
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: to the kids and they were laughing school, even the
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: school teacher. I was not a class clown when I
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: was an instigator. I never will forget one day, all right.
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: You know you used to pass the notes around the
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: room in school, I passed the note around and says,
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: if you have holes in your groves, maybe it's proper
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: to say underwear, but he said, if you have holes
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: in your grows, smile. So the note was going all
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: around the room. And saw the note and the note
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: was on the other side of the room. She said,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: give me that note, and she ticked them on up
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: to her desk. She sit out and she read the
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: note and she started smiling. Then the class cracked up.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: And you know what she said, George Wallace, out of
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: everybody in room, she knew I did it right, right, right,
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: right right. She knew I did it, but it was
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: making people laugh at the time. I used to make
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: my school kisser. Last. I have a school teacher that's
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: living right now. Her name is Mrs Trumpsy Brewer. She
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: lives in Atlanta, Georgia. She's eighty six years old. She
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: used to make me stay after school to tell her jokes.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: And you know what she said to me One day,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: I told a clean joke because she was a school teacher.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: You know that ain't the kind of joke I want
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: to hear. She wanted to hear dirty jokes. Now, not,
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: you don't do that. You don't do that, you don't
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: do that? Well, I mean back then she did and
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: she's still crazy today. We still have fun. I still
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: know all my school teachers, I know everybody. But and
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: it's always been about happiness to me. It wasn't just
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: like I said, growing up in the church, you leave church,
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: what do you do? You come home and mock the
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: preacher was one of my best bits right now. It
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: is a preacher teller. That's why I became a comedian,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: because the preacher would always tell a joke. I called
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: her a life sometime. You ever hear the preacher walk
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: up in the poolpits? Is I won't be long? Right?
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: That's right right, that's a joke that's in a bathund

  Speaker 1: blessed now because you can't because you can slow down.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: I remember when you at the Vegas show at the
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Maino Hotel ten years ten years you had that you
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: missed the Las Vegas. But yes, but let me ask you,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: this is because you mentioned a lot of things. I
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: mean even that that's a that's a career right there
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: that you just mentioned right there. What is the what
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: what's the next step for for you, George, what do
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: you want to do? What do you want to do
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: besides what you're doing, which is exceptional? Am I asking
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: a generic question that say, Richard, I'm doing what I
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: want to do? Well, there are other things besides a book.
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: I there's another book comment somewhere. Yeah, I did a
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: book and I'm gonna do another book. Well, the reason
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: I do what I do? Uh? And you talked about
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: the career in Las Vegas. I did something. I went
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: there for thirty days and turn out to be ten years.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I love that. And what happened was I didn't know it,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: and it happened to me so quickly, and I was
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: into the the groove my ultimate goal. Guess what my
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: ultimate goal was in life? What's the headline? In Las Vegas?
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: And I was there for eight years. I'm going, oh
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: my god, I've done it. I've been in Laws Vegas
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: longer than they worked to stage, longer than any African
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: American ever at the Flamingo. And the most important thing is,
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: and since your show is about money, I did not
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: work for the hotel. I own the show. I know
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: I pay you the twenty six workers. I did all
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: of the marketing. I did all of the advertising. I
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: did all of the promo. It's not your name when
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: you get to Las Vegas. It doesn't matter who you are.
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: You're seeing entertainers go in and out of Las Vegas,
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: big names and don't make it after a few weeks.
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: But I was there because I had the experience and
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: the professionalism of the business. Mind Let's put it like that,
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: to go and visit every hotel the mindset, visit every
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: country's at every hotel personally shake their hands at least
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: once every six months. It doesn't matter who your name is.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: You've got ticket brokers out there selling tickets. They're gonna
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: sell the tickets that they make the most money off
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: before they sell your tickets. So that's why some entertainers
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: didn't make it in Las Vegas. You gotta go out
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: and you gotta shoot hands. It doesn't matter what your
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: name is. You gotta go to people like uh, Time Shareholders,
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: those those people to sell Time shows day by thousands
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: of tickets a day. So you gotta get into the business. Mine,
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: how can I sell this? And then I also I
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: was in advertising. Ever we went to Las Vegas, people
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: used to say I had five trucks going down the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: street back to back to back to back to back,
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: George Wallace. People say, why would you put five trucks
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: back to back in that crazy Why would you ask
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: me about it? There you go, because it means they
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: they saw it, they saw the message. They's a business
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: the show and then there's a business. So at night
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: at ten o'clock, the best ten PM show in Las
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Vegas for ten years, I was on stage telling jokes.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: I owned the show. I might do an hour, might
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: doing on the head, but I owned the room. I
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: could do what I wanted to do during the day.
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: I was handling the business park for ten years a
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: decade in Vegas. African American man said exactly, and then
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: they'd never been done before. I didn't, thank God. And
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I was on stage one night and my best friend
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: went on stage. She said, we've been doing this for
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: ten years. America needs to see you again, so we're
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: gonna close the show. That's what my best friend said.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: And he knows he knows more about money than anybody,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and he quite a successful show in his prime. So
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: I said, you're right. I gotta get back out in America.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm out doing the tours and making money
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: and doing television during the movies. Life is just good. Hey, George,
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: I called you personally asked you to call and do
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: my show. You said, Rashwan, what time? And you've done it.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: And I think more importantly, you've told people about you
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: and what it takes to be successful if they want
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: to follow in your footsteps, not only as a comedian
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: but as a person in life. So in closing, George,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: what what the nuggets of inspiration would you give my
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: listeners a money making conversation? And I'm money making conversations.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: Think about what you're doing on your essence. Don't be
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: afraid to put your business on on the street, and
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: don't be afraid to to make choices that take chances.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Don't be in the fish bowl the fish and the
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: fish boat goes back and forth. Some time. You gotta
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: jump out of that fish bowl and get into a
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: new world and enjoy what you want to do. Don't
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: be afraid to fail. You know, when I was in
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: sales in New York City, I was vice president of
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: the world's largest outdoor advertising company. Our formula was every
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: twelve knows then you get it. Yes, that that's hard.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Some people can't deal with that. You gotta keep knocking
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: on the door. No no, no, no, no no what
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: you keep working hard, You're gonna get it. Yes, As
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: I said before, there's something in the struggle. You gotta work.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Rich people work. You gotta get out there and work
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: for it, for it and your notice. Look at you.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: You work for many a year and just grow and
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it gets in your system.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: You don't know nothing to do but try to do
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: better and at Sometimes you're not running for more money.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: You're just making money just because you're happy doing what
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: you do. Read the phrase before. When you love what
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you do, you never have a job. I love what
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: I do and I love what I do, and I
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: paid the money because I appreciate you. I thank you,
• 25:51
  Speaker 1: I love you, and it's absolutely nothing you can do
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: about it. And hey man, let's talk soon, and I
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: eat the meals okay, okay, because I gotta tell you
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: something about making more money. As my dadda said once,
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: I know you gotta go with my dadda said once,
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: life is like a crap sandwich. Okay. Told me to
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: get all the education I can and make all of
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: the bread I can, because the more bread you have,
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: the less crap you gotta eat if you want it.
• 26:15
